im just movin up off a 250r and hondas great but i wanna know what i should get honda or suzuki 400??? im now 14 and wiegh about 108 buut ive been ridin forlong and this 250 aint gettin it no more so i was wantin some advice for which is better on the track...ive heard the z is a little to tall??

 

z400 has better suspension and a more powerful engine........they both handle well, but with the z400s superior suspension it will handle the tough stuff better..... The z is not too tall, not sure who told you that one. Compared to the EX you sit in a more aggressive riding position, but they both handle great and neither are tall...

In the tight woods the EX will crawl better at low RPMs, on the track the z400 will smoke an EX once the RPMs get up and are allowed to stay there... the z400 is mostly all mid-range and top-end while the EX is mostly low-end.......

 

Moving up from a 250r???? You will be moving DOWN, unless your r is such a beater that it isn't rideable anymore.........

Both the Z and EX are great machines, with very reliable engines. The frame geometry is virtually identical (the Z is an EX knockoff!). The Z has a faster, but more revy engine.

I like the EX for tight trails. It will lug down throught the tight, technical stuff. I like the Z for more open, faster trails.

 

naw my 250 sucks and i dont like the 2stroke that much nomore..but ive also been reading some of these articles on here and people are complaining about coburater problems and the Z havin to be re-jetted after every little thing done to it

 

If you are going to do motor mods, do them all at once...so you only have to rejet once...

 

souds easy but i gotta work to get this stuff so ig gotta get a littlebit at a time but im gettin the factory to put nerf bars on either way i go...but the 08 ex has a good suspention to is fully ajustable unlike the 07 and below..and they changed the seat on the 08 ex
